I'll flog it after my clutch setup arrives so I can actually get the power down to the ground!

And yep. I got the car up to 180 to 185 according to my gauge on Tuner Studio and then did the test after about 5 minutes of the car sitting

My Mazdaspeed flywheel came in last night. I chose this flywheel because it was $20 shipped and I wanted to upgrade to the 1.8 size flywheel/clutch kit. I have heard too many testimonials about guys installing lightweights, not being happy with them, and ultimately taking them out.

What are your experiences with lightweight flywheels and for what use?




Will post more pics after it's all shiny and new-looking again!

<p>Lightweight flywheels are the fucking tits.</p><p>Until someone else tries to drive your car. I can't wait till I have a super stiff clutch and a lightweight flywheel.</p>

</p><p>Mine is used on a car, to transfer torque from the engine to the trans, not sure what else you would use one for. Maybe a really shitty boat anchor?</p>

aidandj 07-03-2015 11:32 AM

<p>Maybe even a fleshlight if you're a man.</p>

Hmm. Maybe I will try out a lightened one someday, then. We'll see. For clarification, I meant like daily, track, autox, whatever as far as use goes.

Might end up using it as an anchor. Maybe I'll just throw it off a bridge.

aidandj 07-03-2015 11:39 AM

<p>Yeah we knew, still doesn't stop us from making bad jokes.</p><p>The only reason I regret getting mine is that I'm having a hell of a time getting my GF to try auto-x and the lightweight flywheel makes it really hard for her to drive my car.</p>

This is getting a bit erotic for my taste. You guys do you, though.

I have just heard it from my local Miata guys. I'll let you know how the MSM one feels after I get the clutch installed and broken in. Hopefully it doesn't tear too much....

Well it looks like I've got two more guys on team Pro-Flywheel now. I probably will try one out sometime when I can find a good deal on one.

Still haven't let my gf drive the car since it's been boosted... Haha maybe this weekend!
